There are different kinds of trolley-switchers. This questionnaire can tell you which kind you are. https://www.agiliq.com/notebook/ethical-framework-trolley/

Can you suggest some good resources for newbies/laymen on the topic?
Edit - For anyone else who might be looking, this page gives a nice pythonic example:

The main developer James Bennett has discussed his reasons several times on multiple venues, but the FAQ in the Read the Docs for django-registration gives details in "Does django-registration come with any sample templates I can use right away?"

Other people have provided good baselines to work from, the Djen of Django provides explanations with their samples:
